Personally, I've always thought Dawn's Slaughtersun to be of the same vain as Setherial's Nord, except a lot better on every level. A lot more sophisticated. Or hell, In The Nightside Eclipse by Emperor.

Can anyone think of any black metal artist more sophisticated than Emperor??

Could someone recommend me bands that sound similar to landscape? I've never heard a black metal band sound like this. The whole 80's b-movie horror meets black metal sound going on is pretty unique and awesome. So, yeah any bands similar to this would be awesome and oh I already know dungeon synth and that's not really what im looking for.

I may have a couple to recommend to you, whether they are a close match for you or not is up for you to decide eh?

Instinct from the UK might be worth a look, though this (awesome) track is more metal than ambient, but their early stuff, if you dig around, will have at least some appeal for you. Damn good underrated band...

Evilfeast, however, might be right up your alley. Heavy on the key-driven, atmosphere, but decent enough as it still contains plenty of shadow.

I haven't posted for awhile, but I find this completely unknown 1 man band from Thailand to be very interesting. I got a couple of his releases from a friend in Thailand. They (he) sort of sound like a mix between Drudkh and Leviathan. Anyway I'm curious to see what some of you think. Some of their other stuff is a lot more raw than this.

Hi. I'm looking for folk black metal along the lines of Windir, instrumentally and vocal-wise. Any ideas?

Are you familiar with the other Sognametal bands? Sigtyr, Feigd, Cor Scorpii, Mistur. If not this is exactly where you want to start. All influenced by Windir and the local folk melodies as Valfar used.

I'll also check out those bands, thanks. I've been looking for more material in that style. Very little of second wave worship is nearly as good as the original; the quality bands always have their own style.

Which bands? I know you have good taste in black metal, so I will check them out too

EXTRA CREDIT:Also, there's this one one-man-band project on metal-archives that I encountered through the "random band" button...a picture of a guy in a plague doctor mask-which is REALLY FUCKING COOL if anyone can find that or remember that please reply lol.

Hi guys, im looking for something in the vein of Taake, mainly their latest output (in a perfect world there would be more banjo solos in black metal jaja). The rock and roll feel is what im after, note that its not in the punk vein of, lets say, some of Darkthrone songs. Its different, black metal riffs with rock and roll tempos, decent production, good drumming, consistency, cold atmosphere while not beign atmospheric at all. Hope im clear :/ thanks!

Well, by quality bands with their own style I meant great black metal bands that mostly don't ape the second wave classics that much, even when they're doubtless highly inspired by them.
